EastBio: Chronic parasite infection: Unravelling the function of new players in Toxoplasma and Neospora cyst formation

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Immunology and Infection Research
Toxoplasma and Neospora are intracellular parasites that can cause abortion when passed to the developing foetus. Both have significant impact on the farming industry, causing sheep and cattle abortions respectively. Read more

EastBio: Investigating the dynamic regulation of tissue disassembly and death in vivo

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
Tissues and organs are not only built, they must also be dismantled and removed at the appropriate stage. Tissue disassembly and death are fundamental to normal development and physiology, while their disruption underlies developmental disorders and diseases such as cancer. Read more

EastBio: The evolution of reproductive isolation.

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Plant species have different microevolutionary patterns to animal species, with Reproductive Isolation (RI) evolving faster and in more often in sympatry. Read more

EastBio: Keeping up with the neighbours: How do progenitor cells coordinate with each other as they build tissues?

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute for Regeneration and Repair
During mammalian development, progenitor cells pass must through developmental transitions in concert with their neighbours. This is key to maintaining the beautifully coordinated process of embryogenesis. Read more

EastBio: How do swimming Leishmania parasite cells control their swimming to get where they need to go?

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Immunology and Infection Research
This project will combine cutting-edge CRISPR reverse genetics, advanced microscopy and image analysis to uncover how cells, focusing on unicellular parasites, control their swimming. Read more

EastBio: Resilient crops for a sustainable future: Unravelling the interaction between fungal pathogens and mycorrhizal symbionts in barley

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology and Evolution
The global climate crisis is driving a step change in approaches to agriculture. Sustainable and regenerative crop management is an essential component of our drive to net zero Carbon. Read more

EastBio: The role of maternal effects in the evolutionary dynamics of Soay sheep

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology and Evolution
The environment an individual experiences during early life can have a profound effect on traits expressed throughout life, including fitness. Read more

EastBio: Structural basis of paired immune receptor activation in Arabidopsis

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Deep inside every plant cell, there are molecular ‘sentinels’ called NLRs that detect invading pathogens and sound the alarm, triggering the plant's defence. Read more

EastBio: Uncovering hidden costs to genetic diversity in hyperdiverse regions

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology and Evolution
Deleterious mutations are widespread in nature. Determining their prevalence and strength is important for understanding evolutionary phenomena, including the evolution of reproductive modes, impact of genetic changes, wild conservation genetics, and medical genetics. Read more

EastBio: Jumping genes and extracellular messages: transposable-element evolution in a parasitic nematode

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Ecology and Evolution
Transposable elements (TEs) are selfish genetic elements that can copy themselves with apparent disregard to their host genome. New insertions can disrupt genes, alter gene regulation and cause genome expansion. Read more

EastBio: Role of ubiquitin in stress tolerance and malaria transmission

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Immunology and Infection Research
Protein ubiquitination is a key regulatory process that controls many aspects of eukaryotic life. Both free living and pathogenic organisms employ ubiquitination mediated protein networks to adapt to their environment. Read more

EastBio: Decoding how m6A reshapes RNA–protein interactions

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
RNA does not act alone. Its functions are controlled by interactions with hundreds of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which determine where an RNA is localised, how long it survives and whether it is translated. Read more

EastBio: Building a functional synthetic pyrenoid in plants using components from diverse algal lineages

University of Edinburgh
School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences
Photosynthesis in plants is limited by the catalytic efficiency of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco. In most algae and some bryophytes, the performance of Rubisco is enhanced by a CO2-concentrating mechanism centred around a pyrenoid, a liquid-like, phase-separated microcompartment that saturates Rubisco with CO2.
